63. Peter Atwater: The Confidence Map

samedi 29 juillet 2023 • Durée 54:02

Have you ever been absolutely, utterly confident in an outcome, only to get a rude awakening when things go very differently? Well, you're not alone. Behavioral economics pioneer Peter Atwater has made it his mission to help more people understand the role of confidence in human decision making, outcomes, and how it's rooted in "our desire for certainty and control." In this week's show, Jeff and Jason talk with Peter about his new book, The Confidence Map: Charting a Path from Chaos to Clarity. They discuss his background, his decision to leave a successful banking career and start over at 45, and and how The Confidence Map came to be, and how it can help people make better decisions in many aspects of their lives.

In the second part of the show, Jason and Jeff share their thoughts on the book and the conversation with Peter, and how the concepts in the book can fit in the investor's toolbox.

Companies mentioned: BRK.A, BRK.B

60. Smattering Portfolio Q2 Review

samedi 8 juillet 2023 • Durée 01:04:12

It may be hard to believe, but we are already halfway through the year. That means it's time to review the 16 stocks across the five "team" in the 2023 Smattering Portfolio Contest! The good news: The five portfolios are up a combined 31% so far this year! The bad news: The best performing team is the "un-portfolio." It's all Jeff's fault. This week, Jeff and Jason share an update on all of the companies in the contest, and share their latest thoughts.

In the second part of the show, Jason asks Jeff for his thoughts on financial independence, and topic that, surprisingly, we haven't talked very much about.

59. Fighting Chimps and Picking Stocks

samedi 1 juillet 2023 • Durée 58:48

Whether it's driving, picking stocks, or fighting chimpanzees, humans often overestimate their actual skill level. In this week's show, Jason and Jeff discuss this reality, and what you can do as an investor to counter your own human nature. Topics include discovering the difference between luck and skill with investing, how to find useful lessons, and the power of humility and giving yourself grace. (Hat tip to Alex Morris for a tweet that inspired part of today's show.)

In the second part of the show, Jason and Jeff argue over whether we're in a bull market or not, and whether it really matters. (Hint, it doesn't, except for when it does.)

58. Travis Hoium on Asymmetric Investing

samedi 24 juin 2023 • Durée 01:01:56

To some degree, every stock investor is looking for asymmetric returns. While the market delivers, on average, around 10% in gains each year, stocks also provide the rare opportunity to earn substantial multiples on your initial investment. Travis Hoium has spent years looking for those winners, and now he's helping people find them. An engineer by training and longtime writer for The Motley Fool, Travis is also the founder of the Asymmetric Investing newsletter, where he provides access to research on stocks he thinks have the potential – and characteristics – to deliver asymmetric returns.

Recently, Travis sat down with Jason and Jeff to talk about his journey, some of the lessons he's learned along the way, his investing philosophy, and his approach to finding asymmetric opportunities. He also shares two ideas that he thinks are good examples of how these opportunities can often hide in plain sight. In the second part of the show, Jason and Jeff put Travis through the wringer in a lightning round.

Companies mentioned: AAPL, AXON, COIN, GM, INTC, PTON, TSLA, UBER

57. What If You Die?

samedi 17 juin 2023 • Durée 58:31

Death and taxes are inevitable, as the saying goes. But what if you died right now? What if some cosmic hand snapped its fingers, and you were gone? We often apply this "snap" test to companies to find the most important ones, but we can apply this same test to ourselves, too. Who would be impacted? What would they be left trying to figure out? Would they have enough money to make ends meet?

Would they even know how to access your bank accounts or retirement savings? What would they do?

In this episode, inspired by a young listener's recent health diagnosis, Jeff and Jason talk about this difficult subject, offering their insights and answers to one of the hardest questions we each need to answer. Because the only thing worse than dying young is leaving your loved ones without the resources to move forward with their lives.

In the second part of the show, we play "Signal or Noise" with crypto. The SEC is going hard after trading platforms, and Jeff and Jason debate the potential implications for trading platforms and crypto writ large. Whether you're interested in crypto or not, it's a useful thought exercise on disruption, fraud, and regulatory clarity.
